This is how I would break it down, off the top of my head:

Utena: ESFP
Anthy: INFJ
Touga: ENTP
Saionji: ISFJ
Miki: INTP
Juri: ISTJ
Nanami: ESFP
Akio: ENTJ
Shiori: ISFP
Mikage: INTJ

I've gotta say, aside from Anthy, Utena, Miki, and Mikage, none of these click instantly. Maybe someone else can make a better analysis?

I think Juri is an INFJ; She seems to have extreme ideals, especially that time she went off on Utena like an insane for looking for her Prince. She also has that sort of cold, one-route looking exterior, and we all know about her angsty battles that she constantly has with herself on the inside due to Shiori. But there was also that moment in the fencing team where the girl hurt herself and Juri turned into a caring individual, telling her to take time off until it had healed.

Wakaba seems fitting to ENFP. She may not be able to talk well out of anything, but I bet she can talk through anything. She also seems to have highly evolved values despite her absolutely goofy nature. She knows where she stands on men, especially when Utena is having her doubts over Akio.  And goodness knows she understands Utena well, even if it doesn't always show through her massive glomping fits.

Mock Puppet's interpretation of ENFJ sounds almost perfect as well. I'd forgotten about the whole wanting to be with Saionji bit and not feeling special.

That's all my brain wants to fit right now. Maybe I'll do a few more later.

Edited to add some things to Wakaba's bit

Thanks Tamago

INTP for Mikage/Nemuro might actually be more accurate than my original, and I agree with ENTP for Touga. Though I might have to look around a bit more for Miki, agreeing with Juri so far. What about Mitsuru?

Mitsuru strikes me as an ESFJ.  He seems more concerned with others' feelings -- especially Nanami's, but also Mari's, Touga's, and Utena's -- than with his own, hence the E.  His psychological emphasis is on figuring out the right thing to do (hence the J) and he does it by using his empathy and impulse rather than through detached analysis (hence the F).  We don't have much information on what he does when he must gather information rather than acting on it, but he doesn't seem to me to be the type who looks for patterns in things or plays hunches like an N does; while I'm having trouble thinking of evidence for this, he seems much more grounded in the physical world to me.  That makes him an S.  So ESFJ.

I agree with cloche about Nemuro being an INTP (more interested in figuring out how things are than what to do about them) and Mikage an INTJ (vice versa).

Anthy strikes me as a very broken INFP.

The lack of self-preservation. Her negative outlook strikes me as a defense mechanism after being disappointed so much.  if she is not directly manipulating someone, then she sort of doesn't really know what to do.

As an ENFJ I'd like to agree that Akio could be a "very warped one" as Shance put it. An ENJF without a conscience as it were, using people skills to seduce and manipulate the masses. But for him to lose his conscience (which is so well-developed in an ENFJ as to be painful)...something big musta had to happen. After all a classic ENFJ would start off caring about the perspective of everyone else and weighing up their greater interests.

Wait...that sounds like Dios. Oh my.

But as for Wakaba as a possible ENJF...she just doesn't have the people awareness. And she seems quite sensory to me, not intuitive. She is extrovert though! I'll vote for that much.

Nanami as an ENFJ? Too self-involved and not enough people-power. She's not really charming-controlling (like Akio), she's more cows her followers into submission.

Ja, how easy! An INFP!
